HQ CD Lens Cleaner

First of all, i would like to state that this product was used on an Xbox 360, and only needed one use to fix. I was starting to have trouble with my Xbox 360, it was having trouble reading disks. Naturally i just assumed it was overheating and so i switched it off and left a fan over it to cool it down. The fan was on for 6 hours straight just to be safe. However, when switching the Xbox back on, and attempting to play a game, i was being prompted to open the tray, which only happens if/when there is no/unreadable disk in place. after many attempts of cleaning the disk, trying other games, and blowing into every nook and cranny of the Xbox i could find, i was still having the same problem. At this point it had become very frustrating as i have previously heard Xbox's have a tendency to fail. After assuming the worst, and thinking that my Xbox had been broken by something, i started to price up how much it would cost to get it fixed/replaced. I did not like the odds of getting a new one. So being enthusiastic about fixing it myself, i searched the interwebs and someone had tried using a disk cleaner, but to no prevail. Searching Amazon, i found this cheap one. So what if it doesn't work right? you cant exactly complain for the price. So i took my chances and gave it a shot. When the item came, i followed the instruction, which are also very easy to understand. Although the item comes with fluid, you have to pierce the funnel with a pin. when placed in the Xbox, it wouldnt run, so for the viewers who have the same problem. WHAT I DID: Open the tray, get a hairdyer and blow it into all the holes/openings of the Xbox, quickly insert the disk, and bang (you may have to try different strengths) on top of the xbox where the disk would be inside, do this untill the Xbox reads the disk. When running, the disk gets to work straight away, and the instructions are incredibly easy. It literally took me 2 minutes to fix my xbox. a problem which had been occuring for a number of weeks, was fixed with app £3.00 and two minutes worth of time. strange huh? Overall, the product is excellent! (it was for me anyway) gets to work straight away! only takes a number of minutes! BEST PART? IT IS CHEAP, AND IT WORKS! i would recommend this item to anyone having trouble with disk reading!

My IMac has had trouble playing DVDs for a while now. After a bit of reading online I was convinced it was a problem with the drive itself after reading some horror stories of it being poor quality and just failing. Not the case as it turned out. Used this product, which has cleaning fluid and small cloth sections on two places on the CD. Just add a bit of cleaning fluid to the cloth and insert into your player of choice. My IMac and now reads DVDs perfectly again. Can I say as well the main seller dispatched this item very quickly (arrived within 2 days of ordering) and was estimated 3-5. Can't think of much more to say other than if you think your DVD drive is dead, try cleaning it with this. Given the cheap price, it might just save you time and money if your dvd lens is dirty rather than dead in the water. ### Update 2 days after initial review - the product appeared to help for a short time but DVDs placed within the computer now vibrate excessively. It also struggles to read DVDs even more than previously. I think the DVD lens is faulty and thus no amount of DVD lens cleaning will help. I would still advise people to use this as a first port of call because it seems to help a lot of people, but be aware it will not bring your dying tech back from the dead.

Works well, recommend

Brilliant. Thought I'd need a new CD player for my car as it was making scratching noises. so easy to use, cover with the cream, included pop it in CD and press play. Fantastic scratching gone.

The concept has been around for a long time and I have used CD/DVD cleaners before; generally speaking, they are what they are - cheap but functional things. This product is exactly that. It is cheap, but functional and as a result, useful but not great. If you are looking for an amazing gadget that will change your life, this is not it. If you are looking to clean your CD/DVD player for only a few of your hard-earned coins, then you are in luck - buy one!

Delivery was a bit slow, but that wasn’t a problem. Worth the wait. Simple to use by following the audio instructions. Did the trick, CDs that were skipping now play beautifully. Good price, well recommended. Thank you.

I will change my review if makers get back to me but this isn't suitable fora DVD which it says it sis as there is no menu and no way to get the DVD past the long list of instructions in different languages. It said when you hear the beep to skip to track 9 but if you try to it just starts from the beginning again. Hopeless for the job I wanted it for prob OK for CDS. Agree with users who said getting into the packaging is ridiculously hard and there is no pin in the lid to prick open the bottle so you are forced to sue scissor sunless you happen to be a seamstress with a needle handy! Then too much of the liquid spurts out.

It cleaned my cd laser but took quite a few attempts but did work, the brush thing attached was slightly crunched which definitely didn’t help.
